Hmm. According to one of the coders "the text box just explodes sometimes". Still, if you're concerned, I would put the parser inside curly braces instead so that when the scene does get coded, a coder can properly hook it up.

Ey, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Just needed that to finish a scene.
Perhaps, yeah. Checking the tester, [pc.cockColorOther] produces the same error, and it and the cockInches are the only two simple parsers related to cocks which are specific to one cock which don't list a specific Other version in the parser documentation. So, I think it may actually just not have the parser for the other cock's length.
Wsan hasn't been sharing snippets of upcoming content publicly, but we did get a timeline of his current projects recently and February is blocked out for finishing Brihaus so at least we know the writing side of it will be done Soon-ish.
Myself, I'm not interested in Brihaus pregnancy content but I'm really looking forward to more Lesdomme Rina and the Brint/Brienne marriage content, assuming it all drops at once.
You ever wonder if the Champion is putting rings on the same finger each time until eventually its more ring than finger or if they're going pimp status and spreading it out on both hands?
On a more serious note; I would enjoy an area that actually listed the amount of marriages I had if not actually mentioning who they were to. Maybe something in the appearance section that goes like "...catching your eye as it glints in the light you're attention is drawn down to the ring on your finger, a loving reminder of your marriage to insert NPC name here..." or something similar? Just a thought.
First off all, it's only rape if it comes from the Rahpée region of Jassira, otherwise it's just sparkling retaliatory fornication.
In other words, in this setting, sex is a socially accepted outcome of interpersonal conflict, and most people would probably prefer being defeated by falling over their own errection than a fireball to the face.
I mean, we only go a ring from Atani, from Ahmri we got a hood. Two points don't make a pattern, but maybe we'll get different kinds of items with each marriage, and if you equip them all you get the hidden equipment set boost "Marital Martialist" which just boosts all stats due to "the power of love and a lot of babies"
Also, yes, I'd also like something to keep track of it all, preferably through some ingame mechanic like a registrar NPC at the Wayfort who keeps track of your lineage and everything.
Or becomes part of it as well, we know who we are.
You get a ring from Komari to give to Kyoko as well so there is more than just Atani. I think that set bonus idea is gold though, lets just do that instead lolI mean, we only go a ring from Atani, from Ahmri we got a hood.

I'm not ashamed! XD
Hopefully, anyway. I suppose there could always be a sudden unexpected disruption, but hopefully not
Part of it, for me anyway, is there hasn't been any group preg content added in a while (I think the last one was the threesome with preg. Miko and Kiyoko doing a bump job which is definitely hot and heartfelt but now old) and this could be more, but also I really really want to complete the quest related to sleeping with all the BriHaus girls which is currently sitting unfinished in my Journal like, "This is as far as this quest progresses for now." which is not good for my perfectionist brain.
Depending on the Champ this could be very simple or it could require enough paper to strip the entire Old Forest region bare. Pity the poor scribe who has to deal with a Champ that's doing all the possible pregnancy content and number-gremlining, because working out a thousand children from a dozen different partners and whether the Champ was siring or bearing the children sounds like a very trying task. And then throw in whether your particular Champ has a lineage of their own with the Noble Scion background, or whether it's even capable of being traced with others and... yeah, tough job. xD
True, a lot of things do come down to the stars being right. We know Wsan has Plans for Evelyn that have been back-burnered previously because he wants things set up first, for example. But given what we've heard about the Brihaus expansion I think it's a safe assumption that it's on track for the schedule we were given.
I know how you feel. Demon of Ice has been taunting me ever since we got CaliseQuest the First because I know what completing it is going to mean, But Thou Can't (yet)...
I will keep this brief cause I don't wanna reignite this old thing again, but one of the distinctions here is that this isn't Quin's enemies, it's his allies and friends, and that he's supposed to be in recovery from having been in a freak sex cult, and using magic to rape people seems directly in conflict with... disagreeing with a sex cult.
That's the fun part, sudden random encounters with your scribe when you approach any of your conquests later on.
"Ah, my Lord/Lady. Don't mind me, I was just filling the gaps of your encounters with this lovely lady here. But I think I have what I need. Toodeloo!"
It's also an important distinction that we are not shown Quin using his magic to rape people. We see him using it as an inappropriate prank on Cait or random taverngoers (which would be illegal and wrong in real life, but not what comes to mind when you say 'rape'), and on people who have already agreed to have sex with him.
Since it feels like I am only person that takes up that path, I am looking forward to lezdomme content on the side of the player. For I do not like the implications of the Lezdome Rina route. And, well, it is nice to be able to dominate as my fem champ.
Atugia says that he keeps trying to use lewd mind magic to influence her, and that she has to resist him. It's implied that he does the same thing to people who do not have her mental resistances. The description of what he's doing as "nudges" suggests that this is an attempt to compel behavior. At the most generous reading, trying to compel someone into lewd behavior with you magically is still pretty arguably rape. Also, I will note here that neither Cait nor random taverngoers are people who have already agreed to have sex with him - my understanding is that group is the champion, if the champion does, and Rune, and that's it.
The distinction is he's not actually having sex with these people after the nudges. It's "lol you're horny now", not trying to compel them into his bed.
Well, we are already encouraged to have at least 32 babies with Kiyoko to give her nine tails and a full-on mom bod and unlock her final sex scene. Obviously we're not supposed to worry about the division of our estate among our hundreds of offspring. Not to mention, if one or more of those babies are orcs born of Arona or Hretha, or kitsune born of Miko/Mai, or marefolk/centaurs born of Atani/Ahmri, or sired by Etheryn post-uncaging if that's an option, they would probably be in line for the position of Warchief of the Kervus, leadership of the Kitsune Den, the Chieftain-ship of the Marefolk or Centaur Village(s), or even the throne of the Winter City. Wow, talk about a well-connected family.
Just have to keep hope alive, then. A month and a bit, maybe.
Ugh, yes. Gotta give Ryn closure for her sister's fate, but instead we have this big block of PLOT blocking the path.
Plus I really want to get to the bottom of what exactly is going on with Calise, because I'm still not sure what exactly her deal is, or what relations she has to Kasyrra, or what Kas is even trying to DO in Undermountain that would make imitating a paladin and being out in the open a viable strategy when so far, she's either kept her influence well-hidden (Winter City) or not even tried to hide who and what she is, but also left the people she corrupted out in the open where their corruption is obvious and visible (Alraune, Hornet Hive, Centaur Village) or just let her cultists do all the heavy lifting (the Rift) so this is an anamoly.

That's still pretty cut and dry sexual harassment through magical medium though, and let's be real. Given Quin's personality, his behavior, the fact that this is a super fucky porno world, the fact that he's specifically lusting after some weird decapitated head oral from Atugia...
I don't know, but something is telling me he most definitely hoping to get an easy lay out of it.
It’s definitely pretty scummy behavior, but I don’t know that I’d qualify it as rape. As Zag said, part of it is just a prank (though I’d hesitate to call it a good-natured one), but it’s still a reason I personally dislike Quin.
He’s not as bad as a lot of people take him to be, but imo, he’s certainly not that good of a person.
I know people don't like Quin, which is their prerogative, but consider everything that's been written for him relatively recently. Quin training in armour to better protect the party, Quin become gym bros with Atugia, Quin accompanying champ to hang out with the kids in the lyceum, Quin collaborating with Annika to give the valkyries the intelligence they need to battle the cult.
Do people really think Bubble et al are writing Quin - your faithful ally who can travel with you to the ends of the earth, potential father of champ's children - to be a serial rapist who spends his days scheming to violate your other companions? Nobody has to like the bunny boy, but Quin the Rapist has always been a gigantic reach.

Quinm does use his magic powers on the champ when they are having sex without asking them for their consent. That would be like someone spicing your drinks with aphrodisiacs with an excuse "well, you already agreed to fuck me, so what is the big deal." That is a breach of consent.
Why is he not telling us this? Is he not our "faithful ally who can travel with you to the ends of the earth, potential father of champ's children (who he only aknowledges once)".

It would be a reach if he wasn't already a nigh-undeniable sex offender, and given that someone voluntarily wrote this content, I would suppose that, yes, they would write him as scheming to violate the other companions.
If you like Quin, that's great. There's times when I'm in the sort of mood that I like his content too. But he's also packing some major character flaws that are, like, one of the very first things that you run into when you actually read his content, so part of me is wondering why you even like Quin as a character if you do not like a major chunk of Quin's, well, character.
Is it the art? I can sympathize, there's been characters I've absolutely loathed, but holy mackerel if their bust art doesn't do something for me.

He does, if you bring him to Annika for that particular conversation.
Seconded. Quintillus is far from a stand-up gentleman, though he’s definitely not presented as some scheming rapist.
Thank you. While his parenthood content is undeniably slapdash at best, and the author certainly seems to have some struggles with maintaining a consistent tone for Quintillus, it’s never even implied that he’s some nefarious villain. I don’t comprehend how so many people fail to get that.
Yeah, but only when Annika is present. What is preventing him from doing so when we are alone. Sure, we may not be able to use that information like a well-trained militia but it would still be appreciated. Does he still not trust us?
My belief that a separate talk with Quin for such a thing is unnecessary clutter. I'm sure he does share what he knows with the valkyries anyway on his own time, because that's what he does with the PC and with the people of Hawkethorne.
If people are determined not to bring Quin around to things to see what he's actually like, that's their prerogative. Annika wasn't written to force people to engage with Quin; briefly including him in the talk with her was just a fun way to acknowledge his actual skills and personality.
He does not.
Aly, do not get me wrong, I appreciate that you are involving other companions. But this is the case where your added content really showcases how seemingly distrusting Quin comes of with his relation to champ. And how his relationship and history with the cult is half-baked.
When we ask him to share anything with a cult, he says "wiggle your ass to defeat them with horniness" and nothing more. Now his unwillingness to talk about guys like Tollus and more darker sides of the cult is it being presented as him being to mentally unprepared to talk. But that really should not be stopping him from "telling us the inner plan/workings" of the cult. Why is that the champ, the main force behind putting the stop to them and seemingly his most trusted companion/friend/lover, has to receive a some new info as byproduct of bunny boys conversation with someone that he just met?

Would it be a surprise if he didn't? That's kind of the point of the random scenes you can get with him in Hawkethorne I thought. I mean its true that the Champ did him a real solid during the recruitment scene but you're still total strangers. It'd be more weird for him to start spilling all his secrets and trusting you unconditionally rather than slowing warming up to the Champ and getting to know them.
Think about it from his perspective; This group of people hell bent on destroying your cult finds you and randomly decide to be somewhat nice to you. They help you out a bit but most of them openly don't like you and attempt to harass you into leaving one of the only safe places from the corruption almost every day. Are they helping you because they're actually good people or are they just keeping you around until you spill all your secrets so they can toss you away or kill you once you've outlived your usefulness? Its not as simple as just saying you're all on the same side now and lowering every single emotional barrier you have to someone you just met a week ago. While I'm not fond of using the "realism!" argument personally I can say that it does feel more believable for Quin's character to not instantly warm up to the Champion and their party.
Now is it okay for Quin to be walking around dosing people up without their consent on the magical equivalent of MDMA? Totally not okay at all, not even as a "lol your horny now" prank. You are forcefully altering the chemistry of another living being so it does what you want it to do and at that rate you may as well just straight up drug them. It'd be different if it was just physical teasing or sultry looks from across the room to try and get your attention but its not. Do I think Quin would honestly take advantage of someone with his magic given the chance? Yeah he probably would, and while that is definitely a bad thing I'd argue its much better than going out like the cult is doing and actually beating people into submission before raping them. So little steps I guess? We should also keep in mind that the culture regarding sex and loss in combat is fundamentally different than what we're use to in the real world.
However I still think those character flaws are what makes Quin a good companion. He's not some righteous hero trying to save the world because of some noble goal or anything, he's an average person like us. Socially tolerated at best in most groups, not a terrible person at heart but most people assume the worst anyways, has some bad habits that should be corrected but would willingly change over time for the right people, has trust issues but wants to be accepted at the same time. Maybe some of that is my own personal bias towards the character but who knows. Regardless, I feel confident in saying that if everyone here had the same abilities as Quin we'd probably take advantage of it in a similar way as him. I don't mean that as an insult either, we're all a bunch of weirdo perverts by the standards of normal society. As long as we're able to acknowledge that this sort of behavior isn't acceptable in real life we can keep those sort of fantasies contained in media like CoC without lines getting blurred. That's my thoughts on the matter.
EDIT: I also just wanna say that I did NOT expect these kind of thought provoking conversations on the forums, not gonna lie. Ya'll are awesome.

That "someone he just met" is a valkyrie that was handpicked by a god to hold a leadership position. She will have inherent tenure so it makes total sense that he'd trust her capabilities enough to spill the beans.
As to why he doesn't tell his most trusted companion/friend/lover, well, the short answer is narrative pacing. There's a fine line that game devs have to walk when one of their characters is a defector from (or ally to) the BBEG; if they don't tell you any info, you distrust their motives and potentially question why the character even exists. If they tell you too much info, the pacing might suffer from a long-winded exposition dump and certain story beats might get spoiled or ruined.
It's possible that his writer just didn't have a clear picture of what the story was going to be, seeing as a large chunk of the story hadn't been written at the point that his content was made, so any attempt to walk that fine line of info dumps would be inconsistent at best. It's also possible that Quin is just unwilling to give that information to the champ.
We won't know until his writer fleshes out the character some more.
Your frustration with his refusal to talk makes sense, and in my opinion that bit of content could have been handled a bit better. The total stonewall he gives when you ask for info can be frustrating if you're immersed in the lore and story, and I'm hoping that Bubblelord will address some of these issues if he ever gets back to writing. As it stands, the fact that other writers are filling in some blanks and giving his presence some weight to the overall story is appreciated.
